During the past two years the prices of building materials of almost every kind advanced greatly.

INTELLIGENT BUILDING. 


At the outset, the intending home builder is confronted by many problems, 
some of which he can solve, while others require experience and familiarity in 
building. The owner can tell what apartments, conveniences and in many cases 
the general floor arrangement that his family requires; but only those whose 
business it is, can, by the aid of training and experience, mould these require- 
ments into a perfect whole, that shall present the best results as to economy— 
both of space and money—and appearance. The floor arrangement of a dwell- 
ing is of first importance. A plan is successful in the degree in which conven- 
ience and comfort are exemplified. Beauty of exterior is, of course, important, 
and every legitimate means should be employed to obtain it, but not at the sacri-

settlement of all these points there is no such medium as a well studied plan.

get a good appearance without detriment to the interior arrangement. 


It often happens that the plans used as starters bear little resemblance to those 
finally adopted, but changes are cheap on paper, and that is where they should 
be made. Sometimes it is difficult to find out just what one needs, as there are 


so many things to be considered, such as cost, location, materials, etc., all of 


t 


which need the advice of a trained architect, and if the result of your and his 
labors is a floor plan convenient and comfortable to live in, and at the same time 
susceptible of effective exterior treatment, you have an ideal house. 


THE WAY TO BUILD. 


You cannot afford to do without the assistance of an architect in your 
building operations any more than you can dispense with the services of an 
attorney in a legal contest. If you had a lawsuit involving $50 you would at 
once employ a lawyer. If expert service is desirable in this case, it is much 
more so when the amount involved is many times greater and the chances for 
your interests to suffer are so many. By means of sketches and advice, the 
architect will assist you in your preliminary studies until every point is settled ; 
he will tell you how to avoid unnecessary cost and how to handle in an effective 
When he has 
completed your plans, they will show your house as it is to be, will tell how it 
is to be made, of what materials, and at every point protect you against loss. 
On these plans you can invite competition, which is possible only when plans, 


details and specifications are furnished. 


manner features of your new dwelling that are puzzling to you. 


THE SERVICE OF THIS OFFICE. 

We solicit correspondence with those about to build, promising good treat- 
ment and civil answers to any questions put tous. We have had many years 
experience in the building trades and in the designing of dwellings, and the 
information thus gained is yours at prices far below what is usually charged for 
architectural work. We have a fully equipped office, employ skilled people, and 
can satisfy anyone whose wishes are within reason. We will change any plan 
in the book and send you sketches of the floor plans, will make sketches of new 
designs, or will draw up your own sketches, and in every possible way endeavor 
to assist you in settling the plans for your new dwelling. Plans are sent from

give better service, at lower cost, than the regular practicing architect, because 
we are specialists in the line of dwellings. There are hundreds of dwelling 
house designs in our files which are constantly being used as models from which 
new combinations are evolved. We can reproduce these plans at small cost, 
and by their aid make changes with little labor. Dwellings are our special study. 
No expense or trouble is spared to keep up with the steady march of architectural 
progress, and we are among the first to adopt new ideas, when investigation has 


shown their merit. 


THE PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS. 

If you find a design that suits, and no changes are required, the plans will 
be at once made up on receipt of order. If changes are required, and the client 
desires it, pencil sketches of the floor plans will be sent for criticism. These can 
be amended as the client desires. Usually on the return of the sketches, the plans 
cau be made up, but if necessary the sketches will be returned for final approval; 
when the preliminary sketches are satisfactory, the final plans will be made and 


shipped.

be prepaid. 


THE TIME REQUIRED. 

The plans will be shipped as soon as it is possible to produce them. The 
customer will not be kept waiting longer than is necessary. From one day to 
a week, according to size of plan is all that is usually needed, but on especially 
large plans or in a very busy time, a little longer time is needed. ‘This office is 


as well equipped for quick service as any in the country. 


WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW. 

In corresponding in regard to new designs or in changing any of the plans 
shown in this book in order to intelligently go about it we wish to know the fol- 
lowing: Give the location of the lot and the points of the compass; the number 
and character of the rooms desired; the sum of money it is desired to spend on 
the building; materials for foundation and number of apartments desired in the 
cellar. State if the lot is level; if not, about how much and which way does it 
slant; is the ground dry or springy and wet; state how it is intended to heat. 
Have you a sewer; if so, in front or rear; if not, will a cess pool have to be 
built, or is there a creek or other outlet for the drainage. Have you a city water 
supply or will you have to install your own water system. Give kinds of lumber 
most in use in your section and easiest to get. Also give any other special 


features that you may wish to have embodied in the plans for the new house. 


When ordering plans from this book please mention Ninth Edition. 


ALL ABOUT THE ESTIMATES. 

It is manifestly impossible to make estimates that will hold good in all parts 
of the country where prices for labor and materials vary so greatly. In order 
therefore to have something tangible to work on, the following list of prices has 
been adopted as a basis. They are the regular prices for the goods quoted in 
the city of Grand Rapids, Mich.—a city of 90,000 population, where metropol- 
jtan prices govern in many cases. This table of prices has been adopted in the 
belief that it closely corresponds to the general averages throughout the country. 
By comparing this table with the current rates in his own town the reader can 
closely approximate the local cost of any given design. On application we will 
state what in our best judgment will be the cost of any design in any locality if 


a list of prices is sent.

heating apparatus, lighting plants, mantels and grates, furnishing hardware and 
nearly all material used in the equipment of a good house. Such of these as are 
good we recommend our customers to investigate, inform him as to the strong 
points, and give advice as to proper installation. We invite our clients to avail 
themselves of this information bureau, and if we are not able to answer questions 


ourselves we will refer him to some one who can. 


A COMPLETE SET OF PLANS, DETAILS AND SPECIFICATIONS 
DESCRIBED. 


The following is a list of what is included in a set of plans, details and 
specifications. Excepting the blank contracts they are all hand work, made to 
fit each particular case and with the owner’s name thereon. 

Tue Founpation Puan is drawn to 1 inch scale and shows the shape and 
size in feet and inches of all walls, piers, footings and posts in the cellar; of what 
material and how located; shows size and location of doors, windows or other 
openings; shows hatchway if any; cellar partitions, plumbing fixtures, chimneys 
and ash pits and their footings; cistern with inlets and outlets; depth of cellar; 
location of furnace with its air pipes and cold air supply, and any other features 
peculiar to the cellar of the particular house. 

THE Fioor Pians show the shape and size of all rooms, closets and _ halls; 
the location and size of all windows, doors and other openings; gas and electric 
lights if used; plumbing fixtures, warm air registers or radiators. ‘These plans 
are drawn to: / inch scale. 

Tue Evevations are complete working drawings of the exterior of the build- 
ing, showing everything as it should appear when done. ‘They are accurately 
drawn to 1 inch scale, and are susceptible of being measured in every way and 
are authority on all points. Elevations of three sides of the building are always 
given and on the more expensive buildings a rear elevation is also sent. 

Tre Exrertor anp Inrerior Deratts show the construction of every part 
of the building. Full size sections are given of all frames, gable and porch finish, 
cornices, brackets, etc. The interior finish of all doors, windows, and other 
openings is given, together with all grilles, newel posts, rails and stair finish. 
These details are drawn on paper 36 inches wide by about 8 feet long. When 
the object to be detailed is too large to be shown on sheets of this size, scale 
drawings of large size are given. 

THe SpeciricaTions minutely describe the character and quality of all 
materials required. ‘They explain the uses of the drawings and give rules governing 
the contractor. ‘They are very explicit on all points and in every way protect 
the owner’s interest. ‘Two blank contracts are sent with each set of plans. 
These contracts are of most approved form and embody all needed clauses 


regarding liens, etc. 


EXTRA SERVICES. 


SUPERINTENDENCE is charged for according to the time required and the 
distance to be traveled. In making the working plans the intention is to so fully 
equip the owner with the necessary knowledge that visits will not be necessary. 
In some cases, however, they. are desirable and the charges for them are made 
as low as possible. Full superintendence includes the following: Visit to advise 
and locate site (no charge is made for this visit except expenses); to assist in 
contracting and start work; to inspect before each payment and to settle before 
final payment. 

Dupticare Cortes oF Puans if ordered at the time the order is placed, will 
be furnished for §2 extra. ‘This means blue-print copies of the floor plans and 
elevations and foundation plan only. If extra copies of the details are desired. 
they will be furnished at prices rangifg between $1 and $5, according to size of 
plan. Extra specifications $1 each. 

Britis or Mareriats are needed by the owner only if he intends purchasing 
the materials himself. ‘These will be furnished for one-fifth of the cost of the 
plans additional. 

A bill of materials given for the above will be a list made out in the 
following manner. 


No. of yards of excavating. A list of the shop work. 


No. of perches of stone in foundation, A list of the hardware. 
No. of brick in foundation. A list of the sheet metal work. 
No. of lineal feet of chimney and the No. of yards of outside painting. 
estimated cost per foot. No. of yards and an estimate of cost of 
No. of yards of cement floor. interior finishing. 
No. of yards of lath and plaster. An estimate of cost of plumbing and heating 
A list of the coarse lumber. apparatus. 

As nearly every manufacturer of shop work has a different way of listing, 
it is best to send the plans to the mill, ask for a bid on the complete shop bill and 
let them make their own list. In fact they will usually refuse to bid on other 
lists than their own and they cannot bid unless the plans are sent. On this account 
any list of shop work is not of much value for the purpose of getting bids, but 
will assist the owner or builder in making estimates. 

If a list of the coarse lumber which covers the piece stuff, sheating, shingles, 


siding and flooring is all that is desired, we will furnish this without extra charge. 


Mesias oO) Sie iii) Clr ieiaim. 


To those who have plans of their own that they wish to see worked out, the following offer is made: 
On receipt of $5.00, scale drawings of the floor plans and two sides of the house will be sent, and an estimate 
of cost made thereon. These drawings will enable one to decide whether the plan is available for their use. 
A price for working plans will be quoted that will be as reasonable as good work can be done for. If working 
plans are ordered, the $5.00 paid for sketches will be applied on the cost of the working plans. In this 
way the sketches cost but $5.00 if the plan is abandoned, while if working plans are ordered the sketches 
cost nothing. 


WA eto hake WARS E ACh 


If you need help and advice in the settlement of the plans for your new dwelling that can be better 
given in a personal interview than by correspondence, we’// come and see you without charge for the time spent, 
if there is a reasonable prospect that business can be done in the matter of working plans. In many cases a 
personal visit from the architect is desirable for the purpose of inspecting site and surrounding conditions, and 
for conference as to details. Preliminary visits of this character will be made from this office at a cost to the 
client of the necessary hotel bills and traveling expenses only. An itemized statement of the cost of such 
visit will be given any one asking it. In cases where two or more people in the same town contemplate build- 
ing, the cost to each of such a visit is reduced, and where the distance to be traveled is not great, is trifling. 
To get the best results from these visits the customer should write his needs as nearly as he can. ‘The visiting 
architect can then come provided with drawings that, while they may not be just what is wanted, will furnish 
a basis for criticism that will enable much greater progress to be made. 


We go anywhere for business.

When the intending builder begins to go into the subject he will read or 
hear a great deal about the different styles. ‘This is all very well, but he should 
not allow himself to be induced to accept an inconvenient floor arrangement for 
the sake of some outside feature, simply put on because it is fashionable. The 
floor arrangement of any house is the very first consideration. In the hands of a 
competent architect this can be manipulated so that desirable exterior features, 
suitable to almost any style of building can be embodied which when completed 
will be in harmony with the rest of the structure. 


Settle these matters before you commence to build and the result will be 
satisfactory from a financial as well as every other point of view.

be veneered with brick only using frame construction for the balance, about 
$350 could be saved from the estimate given.

The striking feature of the above dwelling is the large amount of porch room 
shown. From this porch a view can be had in all directions, and on this account 
is well suited for erection on large or isolated grounds. The interior arrangements 
are very complete, the house having enough rooms for a large sized family, and 
containing all modern conveniences. It is 36 feet wide by 50 feet long. Cellar, 7 
feet deep. First story, 10 feet; second story, g feet. Brick foundation. Side 
walls sided ; gables and roof shingled; metal ridges. Shingles stained ; balance of 
exterior painted. Oak trim in hall and four rooms below ; pine or ash in the bal- 
ance of the house. Maple floors in kitchen, pantry, bath and toilet rooms. All 
interior finish, natural wood. The cellar is cemented, is under the whole house, 
and is divided by brick walls into laundry, vegetable room and furnace rooms. 
The attic is floored, but otherwise unfinished. The house is piped for gas, and has 
a fine system of hot and cold water plumbing. As in many other designs the first 
floor bedroom is so arranged that it can be used as a library in case a first floor bed- 
room is not desired. 

Cost, $4,400, including plumbing, but not including heating. 

Price of plans, details and specifications is $55.00. 


It is the duty of the architect to try and guide the popular taste and to dis- 
tinguish between the whims of fashion and good meritorious work. Examples of 
good architecture improve on acquaintance and the more often we see them the 
more we find to admire. In our practice we endeavor to keep this before us, and 
our success is evidenced by the fact that we are continually doing work for people 
who have been customers in previous years. With our years of experience we 
think we can not only save you money, but give you the advantage of the most 


modern ideas in construction, design and decoration.

When the designs permit, the use of shingle stains is Pater recommended. 
The resulting color is soft and velvet like. White paint gives a hard metallic 
surface. The color scheme should however be settled upon at the time the 
dwelling is designed, so that the trimmings and decorative features can be 
arranged to give a proper contrast. Applied in the proper manner, stains are as 
good a preservative of the wood as paint.

This is a large frame dwelling in which there has been no attempt at elaborate 
display, but being built of thoroughly good material, with an elaborate interior trim, 
the result will be a house with an air of substantial comfort and simple elegance. 
It is 41 feet wide and 55 feet long, exclusive of front porch. Cellar, 7 feet 6 inches; 
first story, 10 feet; second story, g feet 6 inches. Body of house sided, gables and

vezetable cellar. Attic floored, and has a servant’s room. Quartered white oak is 
used for trim in the hall and and three rooms below; ash in the balance of the house. 
The inside trim in this house is quite elaborate, especially in the reception hall and 
dining room which have a 5-foot paneled wainscot. The large number of open 
fires is a feature of this house. Gas-piping, plumbing and wiring are included in the 
estimate. 

Cost, $6,900, not including heating apparatus. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $85.00. 


The cities of the United States are famous for their dwellings. Not so much for 
the elaborate palaces as for houses of people of moderate means. This is the best 
possible condition of things, for it stimulates effort in the direction of designing new 
combinations of comfort and beauty on the part of the architect, as well as new 
appliances for convenience and luxury on the part of those who furnish materials enter- 
ing into house building. ‘This applies to the country districts as well as to the town, 
and it is perfectly possible for the rural resident to equip his home with all the con- 
veniences of a city house and at but little more expense. The strong hold that house 
designing has on the people is shown by the space given to it by almost every publi- 
cation in the effort to satisfy their readers.

than that which leads through the reception room, so that patients can depart without passing through the reception room which may be filled with people.

DESIGN 


While the exterior of this dwelling is not elaborate yet the details are sub- 
stantial and rich and when the house is completed the general effect will be good. 
This is one of the dwellings on which shingle stains are relied upon in a large 
part for exterior decoration. ‘There are a number of effective color schemes which 
could be well used on this dwelling, but the one most favored by the designers 
would be to stain the roof shingles a moss green; stain the shingles in the gables 
a leather brown and paint all smooth wood work an ivory white. This house is 
well suited for erection on a 50 foot city lot. The interior finish is quite elaborate, 
the hall being especially so. The size is 31 feet 6 inches wide and 58 feet long. 
Height of stories as follows: Cellar, 8 feet. First story, 10 feet; second story,

DESIGN A] 23: 


This is a ‘two room in front?’ dwelling of the better class. In this type of 
houses the idea is to utilize the street frontage for the living rooms of the house 
instead of the hall, relegating the hall to less valuable space. The house here 
shown while containing a large and beautiful hall, illustrates this idea perfectly. 
The size is 35 feet wide and 46 feet long. Cellar, 7% feet. First story, 9 feet 
4 inches; second story, 8 feet 6 inches. Stone foundation. Side walls sided; 
gables and roof shingled. Metal ridges and finals. All shingles stained. Outside 
doors natural finish; balance of exterior painted. ‘There is a cellar under whole 
house, having laundry, furnace room and vegetable room. Cellar floor cemented; 
brick supporting walls. Hardwood is used for trim in vestibule, hall and four 
rooms; black ash or yellow pine for balance of house. The interior trim is quite 
elaborate. Gas-piping, plumbing and wiring are included. 

Price of plans, details and specifications is $55.00.

DESIGN RAB 2 Se 


This is a high-grade frame residence, handsome and substantial in design, complete in its 
appointments, and rich and elaborate in detail. The floor plan is different from the usual in that 
the large drawing room is the general purpose room, taking the place of the parlor and sitting 
room in the ordinary plan. It occupies the best position in the house and with its fireplace and 
many windows is as handsome an apartment as one could wish. While the exterior is simple in 
outline, the details are rich, and with a good location the house will present a very effective 
appearance. The interior is finished in a very elaborate manner. Quartered white oak is used 
for trim in all except the drawing room, which is mahogany. Hand carving is used in profusion 
in the hall and the best rooms below, and the dining room with its high paneled waniscot and 
beamed ceiling is an example of the woodworker’s art. It is 42 feet wide and 631% feet long, 
exclusive of porch which is 1514 feet wide. Cellar, 8 feet deep; first story, 10 feet 3 inches 
high; second story, g feet. Stone foundations, side walls sided up to second story sill course. 
Balance of exterior shingled, all shingles stained. There is a cellar under the whole house with 
brick division walls. The plumbing system is elaborate and complete, the fixtures being hand 
decorated. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $150.00.

This is a stone and frame combination, making a house handsome in outline and sufficient in 
plan to accommodate a good sized family. It has every convenience for luxurious living and is well 
and even elaborately finished inside in natural woods. The house will appear best in a large well 
shaded lot and a still better effect can be obtained by the use of clinging vines on the stone work. 
In many parts of the country there are plenty of stones that can be utilized in such a house as this 
without great cost. This dwelling is designed for use in just such localities and when considering 
this plan it should be remembered that if stone have to be transported long distances that the cost 
will be enhanced. The building is 52 feet wide and 6714 feet long to outside of all 
porches. Cellar, 7% feet; first story, 10 feet 3 inches; second story, 8 feet 6 inches. 
Cellar under the whole house, with cemented floor and stone division walls. First story, stone; 
gables and roofs, shingled. | Oak is used for interior trim throughout. The plumbing system has 
hot and cold, soft and hard water with a good grade of fixtures. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $90.00.

This is a large Colonial dwelling, commanding in appearance and of suflici- 
ent size to accommodate a family of good size. This type of dwelling is in great 
favor at the present time, and on account of its compactness of arrangement and 
cheapness to build, will always remain so. _ It is.a recognized fact among builders 
that a square house is cheapest to build of any, as a greater amount of cubic feet 
of contents can be had at a given cost than in houses of any other form. ‘The 
distinguishing feature of the present house is its large central hall and its fine 
staircase. ‘There is a side entrance under these stairs, flanked by a toilet room 
and coat closet. ‘The house is 43 feet wide and 421% feet deep, Stone founda- 
tion. Cellar, 7 feet. First story, 9 feet 6 inches; second story, 8 feet 2 inches. 
Clapboards are used for exterior covering, except roofs, which are shingled. 
There is a cellar under the whole house with cemented floor, and divided by 
brick walls. The interior trim in the hall and four rooms below is of oak, 
balance of the interior is finished in pine. The plumbing system has hot and 
cold water with substantial fixtures.

This is another Colonial dwelling somewhat smaller but having as much or even more 


accommodations than the preceding house, but which, owing to its less elaborate hall and the 


omission of the side porch and other features, can be built at a considerably lower figure. It is a 


thoroughly desirable dwelling containing every convenience for comfort and has a substantial and 
rich appearance. ‘This dwelling has been actually built in Grand Rapids, Mich., at a somewhat 
less price than the estimate here given. The house is 42 feet wide and 39% feet deep, exclusive 


of the front porch. The cellar is 8 feet deep. First story, 914 feet; second story, 8 feet 


4 inches high. Stone foundation. Clapboards are used for exterior covering, except roof, which 


is shingled. There is a cellar under the whole house, divided into laundry, vegetable cellar, 


furnace and coal rooms. Oak is used for interior trim in the hall and four rooms below. Balance 


of the interior is finished in pine. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $55.00.

DESIGN TA=—S 4. 


This is a gambrel roofed dwelling having the two principal rooms in front. 
The rooms are all of fair size, arranged so that the principal rooms can be thrown 
together, and the whole arrangement is provided with every convenience. In 
many cases it is desired to have an office in the house where business can be done, 
without taking customers into the living parts of the house.. This plan is provided 
with such an apartment, which if it is not used for this purpose can be utilized as 
a den, smoking room, or for guns or fishing tackle, if the tastes of the owner run 
that way. The house is thoroughly well constructed of the best of materials, 
has a handsome outline and if well colored will make a handsome home. It is 42 
feet wide and 68 feet long over all porches and projections. Cellar, 7 feet; first 
story, 10 feet 3 inches; second story, g feet 2 inches. Stone foundation. First 
story, sided; second story, gables and roof shingled. The porch walls are of stone. 
There is a cellar under the whole house with brick division walls. Oak is used 
for trim in the principal rooms below and pine in the balance of the house. 

Price of plans, details and specifications is $75.00.

DESIGN B—3. 


This design shows a handsome cottage, remarkable for its large amount of porch room. 
While it is designed for use in places where there is no water supply or sewerage, so that a plumb- 
ing system cannot well be obtained, yet if it is desired to add a bath room, the second floor can 
easily be rearranged to provide for it. The rooms shown are of fair size and well arranged, and 
the cottage can be well built at a reasonable cost. There is always more or less difficulty in effect- 
ively designing porch roofs, where the porches continue entirely around the building as is the case 
in the present design. To avoid monotony in this case, a part of this porch is left uncovered 
making a terrace. The size of the building is 34 feet wide and 51 feet long over all porches. 
Cellar, 7 feet deep ; first story, 9 feet 6 inches ; second story, 8 feet. Stone foundation. Clap- 
boards are used for exterior covering, except gables and roof, which are shingled. There isa cellar 
under about half of the house with cemented floor and brick division wall. The interior trim is 


entirely of pine, except the stairs, which are oak. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $30.00.

DESIGNS. An 


This cottage is roomy in plan, quaint in design, and with a suitable site will be very effective 


in appearance. The exterior covering is entirely of shingles which extend entirely to the ground, 
there being but 4 inches of wall above -grade. Shingle stains are absolutely necessary to the proper 
coloring of this house, the most preferable combination being to stain the wall and gable shingles 
brown, the roof shingles a silver gray, and paint all smooth wood work a dark bottle green. It is 
not an expensive dwelling, being intended for use by people of moderate means who yet desire a 
dwelling with some pretension to style. The size is 3714 feet wide and 49 feet long over all. 
Cellar, 7 feet; first story, 9 feet; second story, 8 feet. Foundation is a stone footing. There is a 
cellar under the back part of house only, with earth banks. All of the interior finish is of pine 
except the stairs, which are oak. Should it be desired to install a plumbing system and a furnace in 
this house, it can be easily done, with a bath room on either first or second floor, The furnace can 
be installed by simply making more cellar room. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $35.00.

The outline of this dwelling makes it very suitable for a summer or seaside cottage. If built 


in the manner usually employed in the construction of summer dwellings—that is, without plastering 
cellar or cistern, and with simple plain casings for interior finish, the cost can be reduced fully $700 
from the above estimate. 


DESI GNSS =O.

DESIGN B—10. 


This is one of the types of colonial dwellings with details of a fair degree of elaborateness 
making a dwelling of the better class. Much depends on the coloring for a good appearance, and 
the use of shingle stains is necessary for the best effect. The size and shape of the dwelling makes 
it suitable for erection on a 50 foot lot, and it will make a handsome city or suburban home. The 
floor plans have the usual number of living rooms, well arranged and of fair size. In this case the 
library is on the second floor—tlocated there for the sake of privacy, which makes it suitable for 
those who use this apartment for a study or work room, The house is 33 feet wide and 46% feet 
long, not including the front porch. Cellar, 7% feet deep; first story, 9 feet g inches; second 
story, 8 feet 8 inches. Stone foundation. First story, sided; second story, gables and roofs shingled. 
There is a cellar under the whole house with cemented floor and brick division walls. The attic 
is floored but not otherwise finished. Oak is used for trim in the vestibule, hall and three rooms 
below and pine in the balance of the house. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $45.00.

DESIGN] B—l4= 


This home has a convenient floor plan and a simple yet eftective exterior. The strong 
projections of the cornice, the heavy sided columns and the spacious front porch are the 
distinctive features of the design. With good coloring the effect will be one of finest ele- 
gance. While it is the intention in the present design to use shingles on the second story, 
yet the house has been built with equally good effect with clapboards above. When this is 
done the entire exterior except roofs should be painted a single color, ivory white preferred. 
The building is 31 feet 3 inches wide and 43 feet long not including front porch. Cellar, 7 
feet deep; first story, 9 feet; second story, 8 feet. Stone foundation. There is a cellar 
under the whole house, not divided. Oak is used for trim in the vestibule, hall and three 
rooms below and pine in the rest of the house. 


Cost $3065.00 not including furnace or mantel. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $40.00. 


The cost of a furnace of sufficient size for this house will be from $110 which will 
buy some of the cheaper grades of furnaces with japanned registers, up to $250 which will 
purchase a high grade apparatus with nickel plated registers in the principal rooms. These 
figures are for the apparatus installed.

DESIGN B——1.6e 


This design shows a good idea in floor arrangement, giving as it does, the principal rooms 
on the street front. The central hall, too, is a feature of this plan. A combination stairs is used, 
thus condensing the space given to stairways and in fact economy of both space and material is 
practiced throughout. The square outline, while not expensive, will present a good appearance. 
In coloring it is intended to use a dark color up to the bottom of the second story windows, with a 
lighter color above. This plan is devised for city or village use for people of moderate means who 
wish to enjoy all modern conveniences. It is 37% feet wide by 27% feet deep, not including 
front porch. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet; second story, 8 feet. Stone foundation. 
Side walls sided; gables and roof shingled. ‘There is a cellar under the whole house with cemented 
floor and divided by wood partitions. Pine is used for trim through the whole house except stairs, 
which are oak. (Sse one eae

DESIGN B—22. 


The floor arrangement here given is time tried and has probably been used more than any 
other combination for medium priced dwellings. It has about all the apartments and conveniences 
that the average family requires, is easy to care for and is not expensive to build. Its shape makes 
it suitable for the average building lot and it will appear well in almost any location. Sufficient 
exterior decoration has been used to relieve it of plainness, without adding greatly to the cost It 
is 29% feet wide and 43% feet long. Cellar, 7 feet ; first story, g feet; second story, 8 feet. 
Stone foundation to grade line only, the siding being continued down to this point. Body of house 
sided; gables and roof shingled. 
There is a cellar under about 
half of the house, not divided 
but having room enough for 
furnace, coal and vegetable 
rooms. Pine is used for all

ence in living and with both exterior and interior details of some degree of elaborateness. It has a

first story, 10 feet; second story, g feet. Stone foundation. First story sided; gables and roof

DESI GN® B—18: 

This is a substantial and honest appearing dwelling, with a simple but effective exterioy 
treatment. It is intended for use by people of moderate means who prefer to own a modest 
home rather than rent a more pretentious one. If the expense is not objected to, it can be made 
better in many ways. A fire place can be installed in the dining room ; the downstairs bed room 
can be used as a library and the bath room can be put on second floor above the kitchen. A back 
stairs can be put in at the place now occupied by the bath room and many other betterments made 
without changing the exterior. It is 28% feet wide and 42 feet long. Cellar, 7 feet ; first story, 
9 feet ; second story, 8 feet 6 inches. Stone foundation. Body of house sided, gables and roofs 
shingled, There is a cemented cellar with earth banks under the back part of house only.

DESIGN® B—19-2 


This is another workingman’s dwelling in which convenience has been sought for and econ- 
omy practiced as far as is possible with good construction and a fairly good appearance. To reduce 
expense the bath room has been omitted, but if so desired one can be easily had in the second story 
over the kitchen, in which case a change in the arrangement of the closets on the second floor 
will be necessary in order to provide a passage to the bath. The house has quite a lot of porch 
room a part of which is uncovered. This part of the porch should be on the shady side of the 


house. It is 2914 feet wide and 361% feet long, not including the front porch. Stone founda- 


tion. Side walls sided; gables and roofs shingled. ‘There is a cellar under the rear part of the 


house giving vegetable room only. Cellar has cemented floor and earth banks and is partitioned 
off from the rest of the basement by a brick wall. Pine is used for interior finish throughout, ex- 


cept the stairs which are of oak.

DESIGN B=—2O2 

This house is of the same general character as the two preceding. A good appearance, 
convenience in arrangement and economy of construction have been the ruling ideas in its 
designing. As in B-19, the bath room has been omitted for economy's sake, but one can easily 
be obtained over the kitchen. A combination stairway has been used in this design, which gives 
in eftect a back stairway from the kitchen. A fire place has also been put in the dining room, 
Instead of using columns on the front porch, the roof is supported by heavy brackets, which give 
a handsome effect to the front. The house is 31% feet wide and 361% feet long, not including 
the front porch. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet; second story, 8 feet 6 inches. Stone 
foundation. Body of house sided; gables and roofs shingled. There is a cellar with cemented floor 
under about two-thirds of the house, with earth banks and brick division walls. In this case a 
furnace can be installed by simply making the cellar a little larger to provide the necessary coal 
room. Pine is used for trim throughout the whole house except for front stairs, which are oak.

This dwelling is intended for erection on a corner lot with the principal street running the 
long way of the house, which in reality makes the side of the house the principal front. In this 
design the chimney is the principal decorative feature, and customers making changes in this plan 
will please bear this in mind and retain the chimney in its present location if possible. For some 
families a desirable change in this dwelling would be to omit the partition between the sitting room 
and bed room on first floor, making a single large apartment for a general living room, This would 
be lighted at both ends and would be a very pleasant room. If this was done it would probably be 
necessary to rearrange the second floor as another sleeping room would probably be needed. The 
house is 29 feet wide and 48 feet long, not including porch. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet 
2 inches; second story 8 feet 6 inches. Stone foundation. Body of house sided; gables and roofs 
shingled. There is a cellar under about two-thirds of the house giving room enough for furnace 
and vegetable rooms. Pine is used for trin throughout the whole house except stairs which are oak. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $35.00.

This is a physician’s dwelling having exactly the same exterior as design 
B—1, but with a floor arrangement designed to facilitate the handling of patients 
separate from the living apartments. The building is well suited for erection on 
a corner lot asin that case the entry to the public apartments could be from the 
side street, and the family rooms from the front. ‘The interior finish is of cheaper 
wood and of a much less elaborate character than design B—1 which is the 
reason for the lower cost of the house. For about $75 more than the estimate the 
hall and four rooms below could be finished in oak, using a good but not elaborate 
pattern. ‘The house is 32% feet wide and 42 feet long. Stone foundation and 
porch wall and step buttresses. Body of house sided; gables and roofs shingled. 
There is a cellar under about two-thirds of the house with cemented floor. Cellar 
is sufficient size for furnace and vegetable rooms. Pine is used for trim through- 
out, except the stairs which are of oak. 

Price of plans, details and specifications is $35.00.

This plan shows a house without a parlor, the sitting room which is of good 
size being made to do duty for both parlor and sitting room. ‘This room is an 
especially pleasant room occupying as it does the front of the lot, and giving a 
street view in two directions. ‘The above cut is made from a photo showing the 
house as it is actually built at a price slightly below the estimate here given. Both 
exterior and interior details are of a fairly good character, substantial and artistic 
building being done throughout. ‘The house is 32 feet wide and 50 feet long 
not including front porch. Cellar, 71% feet deep; first story, 91% feet; second 
story, 81% feet. Stone foundation. First story, sided; second story, gables and 
roofs shingled. ‘There is a cemented cellar under the whole house, divided by 
brick walls into furnace room, laundry, vegetable room and coal room. Oak is 
used for trim in the hall and four rooms below, and pine in the balance of the house.

The problem sought to be solved in this design, is how to get the most 
possible room at the least possible cost, at the same time complying with the 
requirements of good building and a good appearance. For reasons of economy 
an enclosed stairs has been used and inexpensive details have been employed 
wherever possible. If the expense is not objected to the house can be made 
better in many ways, such as the addition of a fire place, the use of hard wood 
for trim, the insertion of sliding doors where openings are shown, etc. ‘The house 
has the two principal rooms in front, which many persons prefer to any other 
eae The size is 30 feet wide by 46 feet long, not including porch. 
Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, g feet; second story, 8 feet. Stone foundation; 
body of pie sided; gables and roofs Shingled. There is a cellar under the whole 
house, with cemented floor, but it is not divided. There is plenty of room in 
this cellar for all ordinary requirements. The inside trim is all of pine. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $30.00.

nection with the two principal rooms and is valuable for the good effect it produces on entering. 
The house is not large nor costly to build, and will make a handsome and convenient home at a 
reasonable cost. At a cost of about $100 more, the large openings from hall to sitting room and 
dining room could be made much better, and would add greatly to the inside finish. It is 36 feet

Designs B-47, B-48, B-49, B-so and B-s1 are 


houses having nearly the same floor plans but with 
different exteriors. The fact that each of these houses 
has been built, and some of them many times, shows 
with what general favor the floor arrangement has 
been received. They ate all complete in every way 
and fitted with all modern conveniences. The cellars 
extend under the whole house, divided by wood parti- 
tions into three rooms. Oak is used for trim in the 
hall and three rooms below, with pine in the balance of 
the house. Attic is floored but is not otherwise fin-

water, and include laundry tubs in the cellars.

This house has a floor plan similar to B-47, but 
is a little cheaper to build on account of its being a 
little less elaborate as to exterior. It has almost 
exactly the same accommodations as B-47, and is 
finished in a like manner. The size of the house is 
25 feet wide and 38 feet long, not including the bay 
in the sitting room or the projecting part of the front 
porch. There is a stairs leading to attic that is not

This house has been built many times in almost every part of the country, The arrange- 
ment pleases those who desire a ‘‘full set’’ of rooms and a bed room on the ground floor. It is 
capable of being made better in many ways if the cost is not objected to, and the exterior is of such 
a character that additions can be made without in any way detracting from the good appearance of 
the house. In the present design economy has been practiced as far as it can be and do good 
building, and obtain a comfortable and conyenient house. Shingle stains are necessary to this de- 
sign to obtain the best color effect. The house is 26 feet wide and 47% feet long. Cellar, 7 
feet deep; first story, 9 feet; second story, 8 feet. Stone foundation. First story sided; second 
story gables and roofs shingled. | There is a cemented cellar under the whole house. Cellar has 
earth banks and is not divided. Pine is used for trim throughout the entire house, except the 
stairs, which are of oak. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $35.00.

AGAIN ABOUT THE ESTIMATES. 


The estimates herein given are not guess work. They are made by laborious computation of the materials and labor required to build the dwellings. We have 
itemized lists of each kind of work entering into the making of each house given, and will promptly give to any one desiring it, a detailed estimate of any building. In 
very many cases the houses shown have been let from this office, and in every case the contract price was less than the estimate given. It is the practice of many ad- 
vertising architects to intentionally underestimate their buildings for the purpose of encouraging sales of plans. This method always makes dissatisfaction, and when a 


client asks us regarding the cost, we will tell him before any plans are made whether he will have to raise or lower the estimate on a given house to build in his locality.

In the designing of low cost dwellings the smallness of the amount of money to be spent makes it necessary to economize in every way and to omit conveniences 


that are possible in better grades of houses. 


For this reason the houses in Class C do not contemplate the installation of furnaces or plumbing systems unless it is 


explicitly stated in the estimates that these items are included. If the expense is not objected to however, these features will be embodied in every set of working plans 
that may be ordered, without extra charge, and where bath rooms are not provided the floor plans will be re-arranged as may be desired.

This cottage, while not costly, has some

wide and 33 feet long, not including porch.

chambers are not needed the chamber over 
the kitchen could be taken for a bath room 
if that is desired. As the cottage has a con-

This plan is for a one story cottage, fairly well treated as to exterior, and with a floor 
arrangement sufficient to care for a medium sized family. It is always hard to get sleeping 
rooms enough in a one story cottage to provide for emergencies such as the arrival of unex- 
pected visitors, without getting the dwelling too large. _In this house it is intended to make 
use of a folding bed in the parlor in such cases. The house is 31 feet wide and 47 feet 
long. Cellar, 6 feet 6 inches; first story, 10 feet high. Stone foundation. Side walls 
sided; roof shingled. All exterior work painted. There is a small cellar under back part of 
house. Attic floored but not otherwise finished. Pine trim throughout. Natural in four 
rooms and painted in the rest of house.

on the ground floor, and sufficient for a family of moderate size, and at the same 
time to have the second floor accessible and of such shape that additional rooms 
can be had there when it is desired to finish them off. The estimate does not 
cover the finishing of the second story. The house is 29 feet wide and 41%

In this cottage an exterior, plain almost to severity 
has been adopted in order to get sufficient room at a 
low cost that will comfortably provide for a large fam- 
ily. If $75 or $100 can be added to the cost a more 
elaborate porch can be had and the details for the ex- 
terior can be made better. The house is fitted for 
the reception of plumbing and heating systems if it is 
desired to install them. The house is 28 feet each

We are not confined to dwellings. We are able to furnish 
working plans for any kind of a building—for any use—in any 
method of construction—and built of any materials with which 
building can be done. At the time of the issuing of this book 
there are business buildings, apartment buildings, factory buildings 
and other work, not for living purposes, costing from $6,000 up 
to $250,000, being built from our plans and under our personal 
supervision. It is not possible to carry ready made plans for such 
work as this but we solicit correspondence with those having it 
in hand, to whom we will send sketches, quote prices and, if 


necessary, make personal visits.

Supplement to Ninth Edition 


ABOUT THE ESTIMATES 
READ THIS 


, The estimates given herein are the result of careful and conscientious labor in listing and computing the 
materials and labor needed in the construction of each of the houses shown, If prices for labor. and materials 
ate no higher than those upon which the estimate is based, the dwellings can be built for the price quoted. 
Local conditions in different. parts of the country exert such an influence on the cost of building that it is 
simply impossible to make estimates that will hold good everywhere. To protect our customers, we have adopted 
the following rile: ; 


ANY ONE HAVING BOUGHT AND PAID FOR PLANS FROM US, AND FINDING THEM- 
SELVES UNABLE TO USE THE PLANS ON ACCOUNT OF THE COST TO BUILD EX- 
CEEDING THE ESTIMATE GIVEN, CAN RETURN THESE PLANS TO US AND WE 
WILL SEND PLANS FOR A CHEAPER DWELLING, WITHOUT: FURTHER CHARGE, 


To avail themselves of this offer, the customer should give us a list of the prices for building materials 
and labor ruling in his section, before the plans are made, We make a careful estimate on these prices, and 
should we be in error, will furnish other plans, as above, 

FRANK P. ALLEN & SON. 


Supplement to the Ninth Edition of 


rik C DIFEELINGS 


Issued Jan. ist, 1904. 


HE DESIGNS herein shown are such as have accumulated in regular prac- 


a tice since the gth edition was issued. Nearly all have been built in different 
parts of the country and at prices within the estimates given. As these 
HBOS, "i figures cover all increases in the cost of building materials and labor up to 

and including the building season of 1903 they can be relied on as giv- 
ing the costs to build in the average locality. 


We wish to emphasize the fact that we do not seek to sell our plans by intention- 
ally underestimating the cost to build. Realizing that in the majority of cases the cost 
to build is the most important factor to be considered, we are ready at any time to give 
detailed estimates of any of our plans and in every possible way to assist the intending 
builder to get the true cost in his locality. 


Winks SRV We Winiks CIRCE. 


BE SOLICIT correspondence with those about to build, promising 
good treatment and civil answers to any questions put to us. 
We have had many years’ experience in the building trades 
and in the designing of dwellings, and the information thus 
gained is yours at prices far below what is usually charged for 

architectural work. We have a fully equipped office, employ skilled people, 

and can satisfy anyone whose wishes are within reason. We will change 
any plan in the book and send you sketches of the floor plans, will make 
sketches of new designs, or will draw up your own sketches, and in every 
possible way endeavor to assist you in settling the plans for your new 
dwelling. Plans are sent from this office suitable for erection in any part 
of the country. Any method of construction or kind of material will 
be used that the customer wishes. By the aid of a set of our plans, a 
house costing $10,000 can be effectively superintended by the owner— 
inexperienced though he may be. The drawings are so plain, specifica- 
tions so minute, that anyone can understand them. We are enabled to 
give better service, at lower cost, than the regular practicing architect, 
because we are specialists in the line of dwellings. There are hundreds of 
dwelling house designs in our files which are constantly being used as 
models from which new combinations are evolved. We can reproduce 
these plans at small cost, and by their aid make changes with little labor. 

Dwellings are our special study. No expense or trouble is spared to keep 

up with the steady march of architectural progress, and we are among 

the first to adopt new ideas, when investigation has shown their merit. 


THE PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS. 


If you find a design that suits, and no changes are required, the 
plans will be at once made up on receipt of order. If changes are required, 
and the client desires it, pencil sketches of the floor plans will be sent for 
criticism. These can be amended as the client desires. Usually on the 
return of the sketches, the plans can be made up, but if necessary the 
sketches will be returned for final approval; when the preliminary 
sketches are satisfactory, the final plans will be made and shipped. 


THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR CHANGES 


of a minor character. The plans can be reversed; partitions, doors and 
windows may be changed, and any kind of material the customer wishes 


can be specified. It is only when the changes are so radical as to make a 
general re-drawing of the plan necessary, that a charge is made for 
changes. 


TERMS. 


One-third of the price of the plans must accompany the order, when 
final instructions are given to finish. The plans will then be shipped C. 
O. D. for the balance, the customer to have the privilege of examination 
in the express office. In all cases where the full amount is sent with the 
order, the plans will be prepaid. 


THE TIME REQUIRED. 


The plans will be shipped as soon as it is possible to produce them. 
The customer will not be kept waiting longer than is necessary. From 
one day to a week, according to size of plan, is all that is usually needed, 
but on especially large plans or in a very busy time, a little longer time 
is needed. This office is as well equipped for quick service as any in 
the country. 


WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW. 


In corresponding in regard to new designs or in changing any of 
the plans shown in this book, in order to intelligently go about it we 
wish to know the following: Give the locaticn of the lot and the points 
of the compass; the number and character of the rooms desired; the 
sum of money it is desired to spend on the building; materials for founda- 
tion and number of apartments desired in the cellar. State if the lot is 
level; if not, about how much and which way does it slant; is the ground 
dry or springy and wet; state how it is intended to heat. Have you a 
sewer; if so, in front or rear; if not, will a cess pool have to be built, 
or is there a creek or other outlet for the drainage. Have you a cily 
water supply or will you have to install your own water system. Give 
kinds of lumber most in use in your section and easiest to get. Also 
give any other special features that you may wish to have embodied in 
the plans for the new house. 


ALL. ABOUT THE ESTIMATES. 


It is manifestly impossible to make estimates that will hold good 
in all parts of the country, where prices for labor and materials vary so 
greatly. In order, therefore, to have something tangible to work on, the 
following list of prices has been adopted as a basis, They are the regular 
prices for the goods quoted in the city of Grand Rapids, Mich.—a city of 
90,000 population, where metropolitan prices govern in many cases. This 
table of prices has been adopted in the belief that it closely corresponds 
to the general averages throughout the country. By comparing this table 
with the current rates in his own town the reader can closely approximate 
the local cost of any given design. On application we will state what 
in our best judgment will be the cost of any design in any locality if a 
list of prices is sent.

WHAT THE ESTIMATES INCLUDE. 


The estimates include the necessary masonry, carpentry, metal 
work, painting and finishing for the proper construction of the dwellings. 
A cistern is included, as is also the cementing of the cellar. In some 
places plumbing is included, in others not, as is mentioned in the descrip- 
tive matter. Mantels, range, furnace or other heating apparatus is not 
included unless specifically mentioned that they are. In these matters, 
when so desired, advice will be given the owner regarding quality and cost. 


GENERAL INFORMATION AS TO COST. 


It usually costs more to build in the large cities than in the smaller 
places. Also in some of the prairie states, where materials have to be 
hauled long distances, it costs more than in states close to lumber supply. 


Wages in the smaller towns are usually lower than in cities and it is 
quite often the case that stone for foundations can be had in villages for 
the simple cost of hauling. Local conditions exert great influence on 
the cost of building, hence when ordering plans the customer will do well 
to give all the information possible. Generally speaking, if there is a 
sewer in the street, a system of plumbing with hot and cold water, includ- 
ing the ordinary kitchen and bath room fixtures, can be installed for from 
$175 up, with $200 as the average. If a tank and force pump is added 
to the system the cost will be about $40 more. A furnace costs from $125 
to $200. Steam or hot water heating apparatus costs from $250 up. 
Mantels and grates, including tile front and hearth, will cost from $35 up. 


PLANS CAN BE EXCHANGED WITHOUT FURTHER COST. 


Complete plans, details and specifications of any design shown will 
be sent on receipt of price. If, when the bids are in, the cost exceeds the 
estimate we have given, the customer may return the plans and receive 
in return a set of plans for a cheaper house without further cost, the 
difference in cost of plans to be our compensation for making the 
exchange. The above is conditioned that the customer send us a list of 
prices prevailing in his locality, that we may have an opportunity to state 
before the plans are made whether in our opinion the local cost to build 
will exceed the estimate given in this book. 


NEW METHODS, MATERIAL, APPARATUS, ETC. 


New things are being gotten out continually in this age of progress. 
This office having been long established, is on the mailing list of nearly 
all houses doing business with the building trades. We are in constant 
receipt of literature showing new ideas, which is carefully gone over and 
filed for future use. We are thus able to give the customer any informa- 
tion he may wish, to tell him where to buy or see particular things. 
Improvements are being made all the time in heating apparatus, lighting 
plants, mantels and grates, furnishing hardware and nearly all material 
used in the equipment of a good house. Such of these as are good we 
recommend our customers to investigate, inform him as to the strong 
points, and give advice as to proper installation. We invite our clients to 
avail themselves of this information bureau, and if we are not able to 
answer questions ourselves we will refer him to some one who can. 


A COMPLETE SET OF PLANS, DETAILS AND 
SPECIFICATIONS DESCRIBED. 


The following is a list of what is included in a set of plans, details 
and specifications. Excepting the blank contracts they are all hand work, 
made to fit each particular case and with the owner’s name thereon. 


The Foundation Plan is drawn to % inch scale and shows the shape 
and size in feet and inches of all walls, piers, footings and posts in the 
cellar; of what material and how located; shows size and location of 
doors, windows or other openings; shows hatchway if any; cellar parti- 
tions, plumbing fixtures, chimneys and ash pits and their footings; cistern 
with inlets and outlets; depth of cellar; location of furnace with its air 
pipes and cold air supply, and any other features peculiar to the cellar 
of the particular house. 


The Floor Plans show the shape and size of all rooms, closets and 
halls; the location and size of all windows, doors and other openings; gas 
and electric lights if used; plumbing fixtures, warm air registers or 
radiators. These plans are drawn to % inch scale. 


The Elevations are complete working drawings of the exterior of 
the building, showing everything as it should appear when done. They 
are accurately drawn to %4 inch scale, and are susceptible of being meas- 
ured in every way and are authority on all points. Elevations of three 
sides of the building are always given and on the more expensive build- 
ings a rear elevation is also sent. 


The Exterior and Interior Details show the construction of every 
part of the building. Full size sections are given of all frames, gable and 
porch finish, cornices, brackets, etc. The interior finish of all doors, 
windows, and other openings is given, together with all grilles, newel 
posts, rails and stair finish. These details are drawn on paper 36 inches 
wide by about 4 feet long. When the object to be detailed is too large 
to be shown on sheets of this size, scale drawings of large size are given. 


The Specifications minutely describe the character and quality of 
all materials required. They explain the uses of the drawings and give 
rules governing the contractor. They are very explicit on all points and 
in every way protect the owner’s interest. Two blank contracts are sent 
with each set of plans. These contracts are of most approved form and 
embody all needed clauses regarding liens, etc. 


EXTRA SERVICES. 


Superintendence is charged for according to the time required and 
the distance to be traveled. In making the working plans the intention 
is to so fully equip the owner with the necessary knowledge that visits 
will not be necessary. In some cases, however, they are desirable, and 
the charges for them are made as low as possible. Full superintendence 
includes the following: Visit to advise and locate site (no charge is 
made for this visit except expenses); to assist in contracting and start 
work; to inspect before each payment and to settle before final payment. 


Duplicate Copies of Plans, if ordered at the time the order is placed, 
will be furnished for $2 extra. This means blue-print copies of the floor 
plans and elevations and foundation plan only. If extra copies of the 
details are desired they will be furnished at prices ranging between $1 
and $5, according to size of plan. Extra specifications, $1 each. 


Bills of Materials are needed by the owner only if he intends pur- 
chasing the materials himself. These will be furnished for one-fifth of 
the cost of the plans additional. : 


A bill of materials given for the above will be a list made out in 
the following manner: 


No. of yards of excavating. 

No. of perches of stone in foundation. 

No. of brick in foundation, 

No. of lineal feet of chimney and the 
estimated cost per foot. 

No. of yards of cement floor. 

No. of yards of lath and plaster. 

A list of the coarse lumber, 


A list of the shop work. 

A list of the hardware. 

A list of the sheet metal work, 

No. of yards of outside painting. 

No. of yards and an estimate of cost 
of interior finishing, 

An estimate of cost of plumbing and 
heating apparatus, 


As nearly every manufacturer of shop work has a different way 
of listing, it is best to send the plans to the mill, ask for a bid on the 
complete shop bill and let them make their own list. In fact they will 
usually refuse to bid on other lists than their own and they cannot bid 
unless the plans are sent. On this account any list of shop work is not 
of much value for the purpose of getting bids, but will assist the owner 
or builder in making estimates. 


If a list of the coarse lumber which covers the piece stuff, sheathing, 


shingles, siding and flooring is all that is desired, we will furnish this 
without extra charge.

DESIGN A—40. 


In this dwelling comfort and convenience have been sought, rather 
than display. While the exterior has been in no way slighted, the use of 
elaborate detail has been avoided. Much study has been given the floor 
arrangement and we respectfully ask an examination of it from those 
seeking a dwelling of this class. It is 32 feet wide and 51 feet long, 
exclusive of the front porch, which is 10 feet wide. First story, 9 feet 
% inches; second story, 8 feet 2 inches; cellar, 7 feet. Siding is used for 
exterior covering, except the roofs, which are shingled. There is a cellar 
under the whole house, divided by wood partitions into furnace room, 
jaundry, vegetable room and coal bin. The hall and the principal rooms 
below are trimmed with oak; balance of the interior finish is pine. Oak 
floors are used in the oak trimmed rooms. The heating is by a warm air 
furnace. The plumbing is of a good character—‘tank system”—that is, 
with hot and cold soft water in all fixtures except closets. 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $45.00.

Good and substantial building can be done with less expensive 
materials and this house erected at a cost of from $700 to $1,000 less than 
the estimate above given. 


DESIGN A—43. 


In this plan large sized rooms are sought rather than a great num- 


ber of smaller apartments. The feature of the design is the large living 
room with its many windows, making it as light and cheerful as can 
be desired. The hall is large and has a well finished staircase, and the 
whole interior trim is rich and substantial. In the present case cupboards 
are used instead of a pantry, but if a pantry is desired, one can easily 
be placed between the dining room and kitchen. The house is 36 feet 
6 inches wide and 53 feet long, exclusive of porches. Cellar, 7 feet 6 
inches deep; first story, 9 feet 9 inches; second story, 8 feet 9 inches. 
The exterior covering is clapboards with shingled roofs. There is a 
cellar under the whole house, with concrete floor, and is divided into 
furnace and vegetable rooms, laundry, and coal bins. Oak is used for 
trim in the hall and principal rooms in first story, with pine or ash trim 
in the balance of the house. 
Price of plans, details and specifications is $70.00.

This plan is a novelty in floor arrangement, but has many features 


to commend it. The living room, with its large, comfortable ingle nook 
is, of course, the main feature of the plan. The small bed room off the 
library is intended for use as a sort of supplementary sleeping room, by 
a doctor making late calls or by others whose business requires them to 
be out late. If not used for this purpose it would make an admirable den 
or small library. The house is 35 feet wide and 38 feet deep, not includ- 
ing porches. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet 6 inches; second story, 
8 feet 4 inches. Siding is used for exterior covering of first story; second 
story, gables and roofs are shingled. Oak is used for trim in three rooms 
below; balance of interior finish is yellow pine. There is a cellar under 
the whole house, separated by wood partitions into three rooms.

DESIGN B—82, 


A square dwelling, new in design and with very complete floor 
plan. The cut shows the house as it is actually built on a city lot of 45 
feet. The exterior finish is similar to that of design B-73, both having 
the cement water-table and the strong cornice projection. With the body 
of the house painted white and all roofs stained black, the appearance 
is very good. The house is 29 feet wide and 34 feet 6 inches deep, not 
including front porch. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet 6 inches; 
second story, 8 feet 4 inches. The exterior covering is of siding, except 
the roof, which is shingled. The roof of front porch is of tin. Oak is 
used for trim in the hall and two rooms below, and pine in the balance 
of the house. Oak floors are used in the oak finished rooms. There is a 
cellar under the whole house, divided by wood partitions into three rooms.

In the designing of this cottage everything except substantial build- 
ing has been sacrificed for economy. Expensive detail, both outside and 
inside, has been avoided, the idea being to get a complete little house 
with modern conveniences at the lowest price consistent with good and 
substantial construction. The house is 24 feet wide and 32 feet deep, 
not including porches. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet 2 inches; 
second story, 8 feet 2 inches. Siding is used for exterior covering, except 
gables and roofs, which are shingled. Yellow pine is used for interior trim 
throughout, except front stairs, which are oak. There is a cellar under 
the whole house, with earth banks.

This house has the same fioor plan as B-73, but with an exterior dif- 
ferently treated for the purpose of using colors in painting. The color 
scheme is to use shingle stains on the roof and down to the bottom of 
the second story windows, coloring the shingles a ieather brown color. 
The balance of the outside woodwerk should be painted an ivory white. 
Other colors than brown can be used on the shingles, but if it is done the 
painting color should be changed to harmonize with the stain. The house 
is 36 feet wide and 26 feet deep, not including the front porch. Ceéllar, 7 
feet deep; first story, 9 feet 6 inches; second story, 8 feet 4 inches. Siding

A house having a handsome hall, large living room in front and with 
a library or den off the living room. This floor plan has been used many 
times and seems to be exactly the arrangement that many families require. 
There is a passage direct from the kitchen to the hall, with a lavatory 
therein, so that in answering the door bell the domestics do not have to 
go around through the other rooms. The house is fitted for building on 
either a corner or an inside lot, and makes a desirable home at a reason- 
able price. The house is 30 feet wide and 45 feet 6 inches long. Cellar, 
7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet 2 inches; second story, 8 feet 2 inches. 
Siding is used for exterior covering, except sides of dormers and roof, 
which are shingled. Oak is used for trim in the vestibule, hall and three 
rooms below, and pine in the balance of the house. There is a cellar 
under the whole house, divided into three rooms by wood partitions.

A square dwelling simply treated as to exterior, and with a roomy 


and convenient floor plan. While economy has been practiced in the 
exterior handling of this plan, yet the appearance in no way suggests 
severity, the outline being good and the porch details being substantial 
and with a certain degree of richness. The floor plan is one that is in 
great favor, giving as it does a roomy reception hall, with little being 
taken out by stairs. The house is 29 feet wide and 42 feet long, not 
including front porch. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 9 feet 6 inches; 
second story, 8 feet 4 inches. Siding is used for exterior covering entirely, 
except the roof, which is shingled. Oak is used for trim in the vestibule, 
hall and two rooms below, and pine in the balance of the house. There is a

DESIGN B—90. 


In this design we haye practiced economy as far as it is possible 
to do so and still do good building. Costly features have been avoided 
wherever possible, the idea being to get a good house with all conven- 
iences at the lowest possible cost. The dwelling is 24 feet wide anu 44 
feet long, not including the front porch. Cellar, 7 feet deep; first story, 
9 feet two inches; second story, 8 feet 2 inches. Siding is used for exterior 
covering entirely, except roofs, which are shingled. Yellow pine is used 
for inside finish throughout, except the front stairs, which are oak. There 
is a cellar under the whole house, with earth banks. The cellar is not 
divided, but has plenty of room for a furnace and for the other necessary 
compartments. ‘ 


Price of plans, details and specifications is $30.00.

living room in front. The number of sleeping rooms above will care for

To those who have plans of their own that they wish to see worked out, the following offer is made: 
On receipt of $5.00, scale drawings of the floor plans and two sides of the house will be sent, and an estimate 
of cost made thereon. ‘These drawings will enable one to decide whether the plan is available for their use. 
A price for working plans will be quoted that will be as reasonable as good work can be done for. If working 
plans are ordered, the $5.00 paid for sketches will be applied on the cost of the working plans. In this way the 
sketches cost but $5.00 if the plan is abandoned, while if working plans are ordered the sketches cost nothing. 


WES VS lea @ ej 


If you need help and advice in the settlement of the plans for your new dwelling that can be better 
given in a personal interview than by correspondence, we’// come and see you without charge for the time spent, 
if there is a reasonable prospect that business can be done in the matter of working plans. In many cases a 
personal visit from the architect is desirable for the purpose of inspecting site and surrounding conditions, and 
for conference as to details. Preliminary visits of this character will be made from this office at a cost to the 
client of the necessary hotel bills and traveling expenses only. Au itemized statement of the cost of such 
visit will be given any one asking it. In cases where two or more people in the same town contemplate build- 
ing, the cost to each of such a visit is reduced, and when the distance to be traveled is not great, is trifling. 
To get the best results from these visits the customer should write his needs as nearly as he can. The visit- 
ing architect can then come provided with drawings that, while they may not be just what is wanted, will 
furnish a basis for criticism that will enable much greater progress to be made.
